Typically when I diet down and get to my leanest, I will wake up at 5 or 6 am and not be able to get back to sleep. I feel awake and want to get in fasted cardio vs just lay in bed, so not tired.
Lately I've had this happen for about a month but I'm not distinct, actually eating in what should be a small surplus but weight is not going up. Maybe an indication something going on, NEAT, whatever combo of foods I'm eating, what should be a surplus is maintenance.
But anyway, sleep is averaging 6-7. I know lack of sleep is bad, but do you consider sub optimal sleep due to waking up early ready to go the same as insomnia and fucking around staying up too late? Do sleep needs change over time?
I try naps during the day but I'm not really tired I don't fall asleep. Lifts in the gym are going up as usual so it's not affecting my strength or performance.
